Jake Olson continues to do incredible things.
The blind USC long snapper made the team and appeared in a pair of games last season, successfully snapping the ball on two extra-point conversions.
Now, Olson, a redshirt junior for the Trojans, is back on campus honing his skills.
In a video released by USC’s Twitter account on Monday, Olson completed an impressive ‘trick’ snap in the Trojans’ locker room. Olson snaps the ball and knocks a small target off the top of a pile of water jugs.
It’s truly an impressive snap, which apparently took 85 attempts, according to whoever is recording the video. Watch it below:

Olson will likely continue to practice his long-snapping skills throughout the preseason. And perhaps college football fans will get to see him in more games this fall.
USC opens its season against UNLV on Sept. 1.
